A wealthy person in San Francisco is giving money away! Hidden in white envelopes across the city with searching clues from a Twitter hashtag. He is doling out on average $1000. per day to the lucky finders and has plans to expand this "fun" exercise into L.A. and possibly New York City. This is a rare example of the one percent giving something back. In another era it recalls John D. Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil, handing out dimes. Continuing a theme of giving we read that Northwestern University has a class in philanthropy wherein students study non-profit organizations to determine their worthiness to receive donations and then distribute funds from a grant they are working with. Well, it's Spring and the giving is easy. There must be something in the water.
